Stumbleupon is the latest to make my whinge list. After registering eons ago, and never revisiting the site or hearing from them since, I just got this email:

StumbleUpon | Discover Your Web. Here are thisweek's most popular bHistory, Music, Guitar/bsites recommended by people like you onStumbleUpon.Your 5 Favorites

Followed by an email full of links, with this in the footer:

Fourteen days? To process an automatic request? What are you doing Stumbleupon? Mailing the requests via Antarctica? Perhaps you're employing people to flip the bits manually to boost the economy...
